in 4-2-1 header do you have to use a gasket between when the pipe goes from four into two? or can you just bolt it up?

Anywhere there is a connection, there is a gasket.
And by the way, you only have a header. Just one. Unless you have a v8 or v6 swap... or even a v4 swap... but yeah... just one header.
Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.
I know but can it run properly without a gasket?
as she posted
NO!

i didnt see any donut rings..
I have the same problem. Did a H22 swap on a 93 Accord and the guy I bought the header from did not have the gasket between the header and downpipe. No gasket for me means a huge exhaust leak, and it sounds like POOH! What if you cannot get the gasket? Is it possible to get one made or
DIY one?
Does yours look like this?

Going down to Summit tomorrow, woohoo.
If you can't find a gasket that works in some way, shape, or form on your car, you're just wee-todd-did

aftermarket header require "4 into 2" gasket? my ls header doesnt have gasket in between header and downpipe and it didnt have exhaust leak.
Whatever you do, don't make a gasket out of gasket paper..... Does not last that long!

Picked up the gasket $10.49 with tax and car is quiet as OE. Nice. Summit had the gasket in stock too. BTW, I tried that gasket paper also and when I took the header and downpipe off the paper $10 gasket from Summit.
You can't run w/o a gasket because you WILL have an exhaust leak which reduces back pressure and loss of power, it can also cause engine damage along with a horrible gaseous smell (from the leak) and horrible gas mileage. I purchased BBK headers for my old car (02' Mustang GT) and installed the gaskets that came w/ the kit....they were s**t... pretty much like tin foil, so after a week they leaked so it's no surprise you had crappy gaskets come w/ ur header. I'd recommend what I had to do, buy high quality gaskets (I bought copper one's from Summit) and red RTV the bad boys on!
